We are now able to confirm that Ric Flair is wrapping up a month long stint in a rehab facility, having been sent at WWE's direction and expense. Both sides have been trying to keep things extremely quiet, with Flair himself misdirecting close friends and family about his whereabouts. According to a source, only Flair's "absolute inner circle" are aware of where he's been.

Thanks for watching!

Between the forced retirement of Jim Ross, Flair's WWE job offer being rescinded and Flair ending up in rehab, the fallout from the WWE 2K14 symposium from SummerSlam weekend is "really unbelievable" when you think about it.

Ultimately it was Triple H that was able to convince Flair to check into rehab. As we've previously reported, Hunter has a position in mind for Flair and Flair was led to believe that if he sought help and was able to prove himself, another WWE offer would be forthcoming at some point.

Flair still has a lot of financial issues, which is the reason why he is taking bookings (reportedly at $15,000 per appearance) and is hopeful that if there are no issues, he'll be brought back into the WWE family before long.

Sources close to Flair's team say there was concern that endorsement opportunities could take a hit if it went public that he was in rehab. This is why a story was concocted that he was living with his daughter Ashley in Florida and laying low while the heat died down after the infamous WWE 2K14 panel.
